Such a terrible loss for the profession of journalism...
. . .Smollett And Sandmann, A Quick Look Back "The original Smollett incident was an interesting case study in media bias because the world watched as it played out in real-time alongside the media firestorm around Nick Sandmann."They rushed to condemn the teenage boy who had done nothing wrong in the face of ongoing provocation by several adults with racial and or ideological axes to grind at the same time that they rushed to the defense of Jussie Smollet comforting him and demanding something be done about the bigots who had allegedly jumped Jussie. A noose was involved, and he very publicly went to the hospital.
"Ordinary people had their BS meters pinging immediately. But corporate media, and the rest of the left generally, wound up on the wrong side of both incidents specifically because of their biases." . . .
In 2019, the openly gay Dustin Hice filed a lawsuit against Don Lemon, accusing the CNN host of shoving his hands down his pants, rubbing his genitals, and then thrusting his fingers into Hice’s face. The alleged incident occurred at a bar on New York’s Long Island.
Hice reportedly said of the incident on the Fox show Waters’ World, “…And shoved his fingers up under my nose, pushed my head back, and asked me if I liked p—- or d—. I’m not going to say it. And I was disgusted, as you can assume, and I fled the bar.”
… ““This is who they [CNN] are. They’re a predator-protecting machine, they slander and smear victims with impunity,” Hice added.
…“They’ve tried to grind me down, they’ve attempted to intimidate witnesses in my case, they’ve released confidential information about me in an attempt to doxx me. They are complicit. This is who they are,” Hice said. —Breitbart
Don Lemon to be the next one out at CNN? "Is CNN a fount of journalist corruption? Right after the cable broadcaster fired its star journalist, Chris Cuomo for collaborating with his brother in a bid to fend off sex harassment charges, it now comes to light that CNN's Don Lemon was essentially caught doing the same thing.
"According to the Washington Examiner:". . .
Don Lemon Accuser Says CNN is a 'Predator Protecting Machine' . . ." 'They’re a network rife with predators and perverts," Hice told Fox News Digital. "Lemon will have to testify under oath in the near future, but it’s good to see that there’s finally some accountability happening.""Hice explained that he is looking for closure and peace of mind after the incident with Lemon. He alleged that the encounter consisted of Lemon putting his hand down the front of his shorts, "vigorously" rubbing his genitalia and putting the same hand onto Hice’s face while asking a vulgar question." . . .
That’s according to Newsweek, which, in a shocking article, reports that:
"John Griffin, 44, of Stamford, Connecticut, was arrested on Friday by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), according to a statement by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Vermont.
"The indictment says that between April and July 2020, he used Google Hangouts and Kik to communicate with people purporting to be the parents of underage girls.
